I feel for these guys, I just ditched my laughingstock ‘08 Avenger SXT(!) for a ‘16 WRX limited. I laugh more, sleep better at night, wake up excited to drive to work - It’s great. I get phenominal highway economy and a piece of soul from every dad behind the wheel of an Oddessy when I pick up the kid from school as a…

I upgraded:

There’s a bunch of high school kids in our area with BRZs, and one of them is a friend of my son. He takes his to the track.

I would slow down, just to ensure the wind coming off my truck didn’t blow her halter top down, causing a subsequent motorist to be subjected to the eye bleaching moment which ensued.

Authorities say alcohol “may” have been a factor. They’re waiting on toxicology to confirm before being certain. They say it is entirely plausible for a totally sober NASCAR fan to have the urge to climb the fence.

Mech Eng here. Through my schooling I discovered that the vast majority of engineering students don’t know how to fix cars. Quite a few don’t know how to fix/build/wrench on anything, let alone a vehicle.

Was on FSAE team. Trained new members. Can confirm.

So are we just forgetting about Swamp Buggy Racing in Naples, FL altogether? I remember watching these races on TV as a kid and wondering what alien planet did these massive machines come from. These racing vehicles are by fare the most insane not only to look at but to operate.

I know this isn’t “modern”, but this always blew my mind:

By molasses standards as well.

Celica GT Four rally car or GTFO

Been thinking about this for a while, and curious if anyone else is as crazy as I am about the idea.

The thing that’s always bugged me about diesel: it’s cheaper to produce, so why does it cost more?

Except this is not the government suing GM, it’s “real people”.

Or maybe I just like posting pictures in the morning: http://jalopnik.com/tag/images

I think what really happened was the Camaro ate it.

This was their first choice, but Dodge wouldn’t give permission as the F&F movies were deemed “too stupid”.

Curious how a direct injected engine would react. Imagine the injector nozzle would get clogged with the grains of sugar, likely a VERY expensive repair bill. And no I’m not willing to be the one who tries it just because I inquired about it.
